'One of the true geniuses of the Russian Revolution" - Kevin Murphy, Jacobin
First published in 1921, this work by Nikolai Bukharin, a highly influential Marxist and Soviet Politician who would later become one of the most famous victims of Stalin's show trials, expands upon Karl Marx's theory of historical materialism.
Offering a Marxist interpretation of sociology, this edition is important not only from a sociological and economic perspective, but is also extremely valuable as a socio-historical document of contemporary thought in the Soviet Union in the years following the Bolshevik revolution.
'History would have turned out differently if Nikolai Bukharin, a key figure in the Russian Revolution of 1917, and his more progressive ideas had been at the center of Soviet society.' - The Washington Post
